Oh, I also wanted to say that in this day and age of fast 
internet connections and large disk drives, a basic runtime size 
cost of less than half a MB is nothing and not worth worrying 
about.  My smartphone model that came out two years ago has 64 GB 
of space, I have trouble finding HD videos to fill it up with. :)

We should try to minimize binary size, simply because all 
optimizations are helpful, but it's not a high priority.  If 
you're trying to use D in the embedded space, as Adam and others 
have, presumably you know what you're doing and can hack it down 
yourself.
